In addition to the many resources available across Yale, the West Campus provides an environment rich in fitness and wellness opportunities inside and in the fresh outdoors.
Fitness & Wellness
Fitness Center
The West Campus Fitness Center houses a range of exercise equipment, including treadmills, ellipticals, along with free weight and pin-selector strength training equipment. Both men’s and women’s locker rooms are also provided.
The Center is open to all Yale West Campus occupants, their spouses and their children over 13 years of age. The facility is open seven days a week and at any time of day. Access is via Yale ID only. Spouses and children (13 years and older) must be accompanied by their West Campus sponsor when using the facility and cannot receive access to the locker rooms. All fitness center users must submit a Fitness Center Enrollment form prior to using the facility, including spouses and children of West Campus sponsors. Please direct questions or report any issues regarding the Fitness Center to West Campus Administration.
Campus Trails
There’s no better respite-and-recharging place than the West Campus woods, which offer a great outdoor life for our community. The woodland trails run virtually the length of the campus along the Oyster River, with a walk from the Conference Center to the West Campus Barn, via the Yale School of Nursing, a jaunt of around 1.5 miles. Bring your comfortable walking shoes!
Wellness Events
From mindfulness exercises, to nature walks and yoga, numerous Yale partners host regular events for the West Campus community. Check the calendar for up-to-date listings of what’s happening on campus.
